This new X mention feature is a total banger, also go check out giga fast evm compiler

Small improvement on Warpcast

When you link to X posts (née tweets), we made the embed look a bit more like native quote cast, i.e. easier to read.

New experiment on Warpcast

For a small group of users, we're starting to generate in-app and push notifications for X mentions.

i.e. when you link to a tweet and the user is on Farcaster and we've manually mapped X <> FC, that user gets a notification similar to a quote cast.

If the the experiment is successful, we will likely roll out a way for anyone to opt-in to linking their X <> FC accounts to get similar notifications.

(This is why I've been casting links to tweets more recently — testing out the feature.)

Who is the test group?
We based on previously shared X/Twitter URLs on Farcaster plus users we had an easily accessible mapping for. We also mapped a few users GitHub accounts.

Why can't I opt-in to this now?
It was <1 day of work to do the simple version of the experiment vs. a few days to make work properly for everyone, building a UI, etc.

Why did you build this?
The goal is let people who are already on Farcaster know that people are talking about their X content on Farcaster. Thoughtful conversation is the best way to showcase why it's worth spending time on Farcaster.
